    Sorry, you can't run perl scripts without having perl installed somewhere, how did you expect that to work?

    You can however, use ActiveState tools (perl2exe I believe), to create self-contained files which will run without perl.

    1. You need to have Perl installed on the system, if you want the system to be able to understand and execute Perl scripts.
    2. Yes, it is mandatory...and quite obviously so!

      I wouldn't say it is mandatory, but it's certainly recommended in order to be able to move on to different error messages.
